Ok, so I have allowed myself a little too much slack these last few weeks and I am motivated to get rid of my carb cravings.

Lil Diva posts a great plan http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/28139-the-basics-boot-camp/ that I want to implement immediately.

Anyone else in?

Edit double post

1st lesson learned- I will never eat a chobani yogurt to start my day. Way to many sugars and carbs and it made me hungry. I need a more dense form of protein, egg whites, chicken, fish etc.

Even though I wanted to cheat, I did not. I just bulked up my salad for lunch. I ate 975 calories today , 39 carbs, 94 proteins, and 30 sugars (damn yogurt was bulk of that). I am still slacking on water at 64 oz. I am struggling getting more!

Good for you! I was not drinking that and probably won't today. Maybe 90...,

Most I drank was 90, other days 70ish, which is more than I normally do. Keep it up, it is a challenge when hungry but worth it, my pants are loose.

Yes I did water aerobics or a 3mi walk every day

Good job on the 4lbs you did killer This was fun but I feel I must have failed it or did it wrong I was down 1lb an I only loss 1 lb a week anyway:( anyone got a clue here ? Did everyone workout as well?

Hi Artsong, I did workout every day of bootcamp, I don't loose much without the workout. Since you say you are a slow loser, have you ever tried upping your calories for 2 days and then going back to your standard low cal diet? Occasionally I have done this and I think it revs up the metabolism or something and I see it breaking a plateau. Maybe someone else can explain what it does or maybe you have tried and know all about it.

Keep up your good work, slow & steady wins the race :-))

Yep done that a few times dose not help lol

So today is going much better since I started with dense protein. Mio is helping greatly. I should have 9 glasses in by the time I leave work! This is day three and I am hoping for great results on Sat's weigh in. Hubby and I are going on movie date Friday and we agreed to take jerky and almonds.

I need to get back on track. I really need support for this! I am starting on Friday. Anyone care to join me???

I'm starting tomorrow!

Day 4 hanging strong! Logging everything on MFP!

Finished Diva's Boot Camp yesterday down 3.6lbs and 4.6lbs since Sunday!!! This is the biggest loss since Week 1! What I learned, 1) drinking water is still my challenge 2) I cannot start my day with a yogurt or carb, it leads to a hungry feeling that is hard to shake 3) I am traditionally a "slow loser" so I am, working on excepting that fact and 4) I don't want to live my life without carbs, but I want to make good carb decisions (make them count) 5) logging my food a day prior helps me stay on track 6) I am happy with myself that I am working out regularly!
